10 Seconds To Air : How to Build a Healthy Relationship With Your Kids with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar

SHOW NOTES

Raising children is multifaceted. The goal for many of us is to raise resilient well-adjusted children who contribute to society in a meaningful way and to have a good adult relationship with them. But there are ups and downs and challenges from infancy to adulthood. How we as parents navigate those times impacts our child’s ability to bounce back from a setback and the relationship we have with them once they are adults. In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar, a developmental psychologist, Penn State professor, and editor-in-chief of Developmental Psychology.

Together, they explore how our earliest traits, like shyness or boldness, interact with our environment to shape who we become. Dr. Pérez-Edgar shares how her research connects temperament and attention, revealing how some children learn to regulate anxiety and thrive while others struggle. They discuss what parents and teachers can do to support kids’ emotional growth, how to spot early signs of social anxiety, and why understanding behavior isn’t about labels—it’s about compassion.

This conversation offers a fascinating look into the science of human development. From the biology of fear to the power of supportive relationships, Dr. Pérez-Edgar shows how small moments can have a lifelong impact.
